I have the exact process except for the digital sketching! I just do it traditionally. anyways, loved the video, as always:) Now I gotta wait another three months for the next one😭
Way to turn a sponsor spot into a useful video. a lot of TH-camrs could learn from your approach. you've convinced me to keep watching the video rather just click off and down vote like I do with most sponsor spots.
The skill you have developed as well as confidence in inking is such an inspiring sight....I always find myself mesmerized by the way the ink flows onto the page and the smoothness of the movement and lines....keep up the amazing work and thank you for sharing
I was thinking about how many drawing videos I've watched and learned nothing about drawing then you said it but watching you work is awesome and inspiring and your break downs of comic book design is great thx
I always feel this motivation rush everytime I watch your video! It's like you're always passionate about everything that you do. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us ❤
This really helped me gain back some confidence and enjoyment in my artwork. Nothing looked right to me and the 30/70 rule really helped me flesh out the piece. Thank you :)
Always cool to see how someone else does things, I might try that 'threshold' method! I've always just used the 'levels' adjustment to get the deep black lines and white backdrop. But instead of just setting the lineart layer to multiply, I always ctrl+select the blue channel, invert the selection and then fill onto a new layer with the black lines. That way I have them completely isolated from any backdrop, because I feel that gives me a lot of freedom, especially if I want to do colour holds with the lineart.
its so satisfying to watch you ink... you could put up a compilation of realtime inking with chill music and I would watch it all the way to the end! :D
Scanning. Threshhold is the fastest way to do it. I usually take the long road. Adjust the brightness/contrast or magic wand all the black, layer via copy.
All the big movie studios need to learn that 3070 rule. It seems like all the Blockbusters out there are just so over-the-top busy I can't even watch them. Great video thanks.
The gradient thing for the light in the end is a real treat. Also it was really nice to hear about the many lifes of a drawing again. Thanks for sharing!!
Came here to learn about scanning art but this 11:11 is a huge thing! 30/70! I always make mess, now I know why it doesn't look as good as I want! Eyes wants to rest! Thank you :)))
It's arrived! I love it 😍 it's the golden robot dude playing the old school trumpet on the ball. I love it because I play the trumpet and ride a unicycle so appreciate this balancing act with musical overtone!
I've just ordered the gold robot trumpet player design case with your discount code and I'm excited for it to arrive soon! Great artwork! It was so hard to pick but as I'm a trumpet player myself this design was the one for me!
OMG... thank you for pointing out that feature in Photoshop. You just helped me save a drawing that I couldn't get the blue-line out of for printing! Also, thank you for the tips and ideas. Love your work.
High quality results! And may I say, gestures should be taught as the 1st art lesson everywhere! They always seem to start with structures, and that's boring, tedious, and not what it's about! If more people taught gestures 1st, I bet a lot of people would unlock their vision, start getting more direct, positive feedback from art sooner, and stick with it! I like your method, and another variation might be to sketchh in a sketchbook, scan (or snap a photo), and do linework with vector program--no tablet needed. Anyway this video is one of the best!
If you want to smooth the raw edges that the threshold filter left, you always can Gaussian blur the outline. 0'5 gives me good results but it depends on the dimensions of your archive so try different amounts or combined Gaussian blur passes with low cut/high pass filter passes until you find the perfect combination
Massive Transformers fan so I can't resist watching a robot get drawn. Loved your breakdown of your process, saw a lot of similarities to my own method and a lot of improvements I can now utilise.Thank you for keeping up the awesome work Jake!
I totally going to try that shadowing technique in my next drawing! Thanks is for sharing your top secret process! You’re one of my most favorite artists!
Way to multipurpose this video! Extra lives for content for the win! I’ve searched for a proper color/light/ink scanning video and this is it. Thanks a ton
Awesome vid, Jake, relaxing and enriching! Even though I've watched a million tutorial vids over the years, it's always refreshing to step away from my own system for a minute and see how others do it.
Jake, I think that, if you're going to make a contour line on the inside of the object you're coloring to then fill the hole with the paint bucket, then you may want to use the pencil to do that instead of the regular brush, because when you use the brush you end up with anti aliasing that become artifacts after you filled in the hole. And after all, you're using aliased artwork anyway when you used threshold in the linework, so the lack of AA shouldn't matter. You could change the tolerance parameter of the paint bucket if you really want to use brush + bucket, but I'm not sure if there's a "magic number" that would work every time.
I was thinking about scanning, inking and all this process just today, after reading your blog entry about the Tie Fighter process. And now you make a video about it. Coincidence? I THINK NOT.
Oh, how I missed your videos!!! Please just upload a speed drawing session. I know you said you wanna just post videos when you have some valuable to teach, but I miss just watching you draw😕
This would make a cool toy or action figure series. Maybe something like Mega Blox where they can be small for kids to collect. Very cool! Thank you for the video I love the 3 point perspective podcast too.
Jake, are you going to put out a "Drawings" book this year? Have you thought of adding this tutorial as a supplement in that book? Or any robot tutorial with all these tips, would be AMAZING!
Hi Jake, you make some great videos. This one especially with showing how you edit the pencils out of the scan. I see that you’re working with Photoshop on a Cintiq. I have a really tight budget, and I’m going to buy an iPad Pro 12.9, as opposed to a regular computer. And I’m concerned with the limitations of the version of Photoshop that’s made for the IPad. I’m actually going to be working in Procreate, but first I want to edit my scans in Photoshop of course. Do you know if the iPad version Photoshop has full capability in this particular area?
I have the exact process except for the digital sketching! I just do it traditionally. anyways, loved the video, as always:)
Now I gotta wait another three months for the next one😭
hey, bro what's cooking? music volume down yet?
Anyways... gotta... emoticon.....
Kesh lol
hello Kesh!
Hi Kesh
your confindence when inking is just absolutely mind boggeling.... the speed and accuracy is just amazing

That "Tacobot" pun made me thumbs up this video.
Mexcellent! That pun was all a part of my flan to get an extra thumbs up. I'll stop before it gets guacward.
Your comment about that “Tacobot” pun made me thumbs up your comment
@@jakeparker44 nice
@@jakeparker44 STOPPPP!!!
Second.
21:05 "It feels a little more lit"
Bro, it looks lit as hell too.

Probably one of the best 30 minutes I've spent on youtube ever. Thank you!
Finally after 4 months ... Jake is back .... Thank you for making this video.... Absolutely Great work 🙌 .... Keep going and inspiring us.
you sound like you just ran a marathon

The 30/70 Rule, huh? I've never thought about that. Very interesting :D
I'd heard of the rule of thirds for spacing, but never considered doing the same for detail.
x 1.618 = Fibonnaci / Golden Ratio / Sacred Geometry changed my entire portfolio. :)

It's so weird seeing your guys work space from any perspective other than facing Will haha.
It's arrived! I love it 😍 it's the golden robot dude playing the old school trumpet on the ball. I love it because I play the trumpet and ride a unicycle so appreciate this balancing act with musical overtone!
I loved this video, those shading tips at the end are a game changer for my art. Thanks Jake!
Do you know how he applies the gradient at 20:05 to the whole object? Completely stumped. Can´t reproduce the steps.
I've just ordered the gold robot trumpet player design case with your discount code and I'm excited for it to arrive soon! Great artwork! It was so hard to pick but as I'm a trumpet player myself this design was the one for me!
I LOVED your advice at the end; about each piece having 9 lives and what you meant by that! Thank you! 👍🏻

Thx Jake !
Super cool video! Thank you!
This is amazing I always think these things take like less than an hour but there’s so much process involved!
Wowow. That multiply-layer-coloring technique is real nice!
Thank you for this. You taught me so much over these last few years. Can't thank you enough.
If you want to smooth the raw edges that the threshold filter left, you always can Gaussian blur the outline. 0'5 gives me good results but it depends on the dimensions of your archive so try different amounts or combined Gaussian blur passes with low cut/high pass filter passes until you find the perfect combination

Thank you Jake Parker!!!
Painting with Photoshop is really cool. It is easier to paint with a pencil. But I can't draw on a computer. You're so cool.
I totally going to try that shadowing technique in my next drawing! Thanks is for sharing your top secret process! You’re one of my most favorite artists!
LOVE THIS !!

There were so many gems in this video! Thank you.
It's so nice of you to share the process. I've been wanting to print my own drawings to some merch too and this definitely helped. Many thanks!
YEAHHHHH!!!!!! ANOTHER JAKE PARKER VIDEO!!!!!!
thanks so much jake! You are an awesome teacher not just in the technical aspect for an illustrator, but in business as well! :)
Great video Jake! I really love how you stick to your principles as both an artist and a human!
Cool thanks for making this I use almost the same process but cool to see someone else draw!
Useful video
this is definitley your most helpful video in my opinion thank you for always inspiring me and making me want to create more
Really appreciate your insight on the process of making work, and being an artist. Great Job.
Awesome vid, Jake, relaxing and enriching! Even though I've watched a million tutorial vids over the years, it's always refreshing to step away from my own system for a minute and see how others do it.
Very cool! 😊

I've already forgot I was subscribed XD Congrats on coming back!
Jake you are by far my biggest inspiration, so thank you for everything.
Excellent video and techniques! One of these days I might buy a Taco Bot t-shirt!
21:07 I think you mean, "in a taco shell"
Dang it! I guess I have to reshoot the entire video.
Always a pleasure to watch you work!
I was thinking about scanning, inking and all this process just today, after reading your blog entry about the Tie Fighter process. And now you make a video about it. Coincidence? I THINK NOT.
nmlss no
Thanks, jake you are inspired me to I become a better artist in the future!!:)(Thanks for everything and "Finished not Perfect!")kkk
Oh, how I missed your videos!!! Please just upload a speed drawing session. I know you said you wanna just post videos when you have some valuable to teach, but I miss just watching you draw😕
So helpful. Will do Inktober this year using this method. Thanks!
This video rocks. And there are some dislikes?!? Jealousy kills...
This would make a cool toy or action figure series. Maybe something like Mega Blox where they can be small for kids to collect. Very cool! Thank you for the video I love the 3 point perspective podcast too.
This was awesome, Jake. Thank you for your generosity!
Jake, are you going to put out a "Drawings" book this year? Have you thought of adding this tutorial as a supplement in that book? Or any robot tutorial with all these tips, would be AMAZING!
thanks i got one of your cases for my note10+. I wish you had more designs tho
Awesome video! Thank you!
"buy my phone cases"

Thank you so much for sharing your process. Thisi video helped me so much! ✨
Sweet vid! And I’ve been enjoying you guys’ podcasts!!
This was pretty amazing!!!
Inspirational video. Thanks for sharing. Love the Taco Bot. So, how can I get a couple?
SIR YOU ARE MY HERO
I will GLADLY be purchasing a new phone case for this
I bought a skyheart book and the 4th artbook
That's awesome video as aways!
Great advice, as always!
Great video! Thanks for sharing. First time here and I sub.
Thank you so much for making this video it's so informative
Thanks for the video! How does your gradient affect only the artwork and not the background colour too?
That is the magic of a multiply layer on a white background.
Just yesterday I asked google if jake parker was dead
This video was very informative! thank you!
